String Quartet just 3 chairs.
Jazzy Trio 1 chair.
Violin+Piano Duo 1 chair.
Electric Piano requires a 230V mains socket if required.
We have our own battery operated stand lights. We generally don't need any sound equipment and so are happy to play outdoors if the weather is ok but we do have a PA system and mini microphones available. We use the mics and PA for large Asian weddings playing Bollywood music.
We know most venues in the North East but we like a good Postcode and directions to find remote or hidden Churches, Marquees and Tipis.
String Quartet generally performs at weddings for the Ceremony and Drinks/Photos but we do have evening band options (Jazz, Ceilidh and Covers) and DJ for later in the day. Please discuss requirements.
We would only need power if there is a very large number of guests for a PA system. We have battery powered stand lights and generally don't need any amplification.
How do you choose between so many events over 20 years but The Sage (The Glasshouse International Centre for Music) is always a real pleasure to perform in.
Stéphane Grappelli, Louis Armstrong, Stevie Wonder, David Bowie, Queen, Beethoven, Rachmaninov, Dvorak, Shostakovich, Faure, Ravel and Elgar.
All the players in the String Quartet have varied musical careers with Orchestral, Theatre music, Live gigs and teaching and continue to perform at all sorts of events and concerts.
String Quartets are ideal for wedding ceremonies and drinks receptions afterwards and it's such a pleasure to be part of such wonderful occasions.
String Quartet is 2 Violins, 1 Viola and a Cello.
We arrive 30 minutes before the ceremony start time and play as guests enter the ceremony room. We often play during the wedding ceremony and if required during the drinks reception afterwards (generally 90 minutes).
Pack down: 10 minutes
Yes, we try to play outside especially during the summer months if the weather is ok. We can move quickly and easily if there is a change in the weather.
We have arranged over 500 tunes by special request over the last 20 years and so now have a vast repertoire. Clients may choose whatever music they like, especially for the ceremony. There's no charge for new requests but we need time to arrange the music.
Our testimonials speak of how the String Quartet sets the scene for the wedding and guests love the fact that we can play all sorts of modern popular songs and music from films.
Yes, we arrange all our own music and have built up a large repertoire based on special requests over the years. We just need some notice as it takes a long time to sort each tune and we can be very busy in the summer months.
